Aim

The students will, after completing the course, have knowledge of the theory of electromagnetic fields and waves, and the capability to use it for solving problems in physics and electrical engineering.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)


  • Use classical electromagnetic field theory to analyze and solve problems in physics and electrical engineering.
  • Derive formulas and calculate electromagnetic quantities.
  • Analyze and formulate equations for electromagnetic problems.
  • Derive and determine analytical solutions to electromagnetic problems in simple geometries.
  • Use computer programs to determine numerical solutions to electromagnetic problems.

Content


  • Recap of vector analysis
  • Electrostatics
  • Dielectric materials
  • Electric currents
  • Magnetostatics
  • Magnetic materials
  • Maxwell’s equations and time-varying fields
  • Plane electromagnetic waves

Organisation

Lectures, problem solving classes, tutorials, computer exercises and assignments. Compulsory attendance during a minimum of four computer exercise sessions.

Literature

Cheng, Field and wave electromagnetics, second edition, Pearson new international edition, 2014,

Examination including compulsory elements

Written exam and computer exercises.
Bonus points based on the results from preliminary exams ("duggor") or hand-in assignments can be included in the results from the written exam.

The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
